This clinic is also open to High School age kids who have completed their 2004/05 wrestling season. It will be held on the Sunday following regionals.
The Junior Viking Wrestling Club will be hosting a “Dan Gable 17 Stations of Wrestling” clinic on February 20th from 12:00pm to 4:30pm. The clinic will be conducted at Shawnee Heights Middle School at 4335 Shawnee Heights Road in Topeka, KS. The chief technician will be Royce Alger. A complete bio for Coach Alger can be found at the following links.

http://hawkeyesports.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/alger_royce00.html In brief, he is a 3X Big Ten Champion, 2X NCAA Champion, 3X US Open Champion, 2X World Cup Gold Medalist, and he is a assistant coach for the US Olympic Wrestling Team. If our pre-registrations numbers are high enough Dan Gable may also be in attendance. The cost of the camp will be $40 per wrestler. Funds raised through this clinic will partially be used to help fund an Olympic Training Center in Iowa. Those who register for this winter clinic will be offered a discount to attend a week long summer commuter camp to be held in June by Dan Gable and staff in Topeka, KS.
The clinic date is the Sunday after the Tornado Open. It will be a tremendous mid-season opportunity to train with the best for an afternoon. It will help mentally and physically prepare you for Liberty Nationals or an end of the year run towards State. I hope you take advantage of this chance to… “Learn from the Best, Be the Best”.
I have requested a copy of the clinic flyer be posted under the “Camps/Clinics” subcategory from the main page of this website. If you need me to forward you a hard copy, I can be reached at (785) 286-0899. Thanks
